Mr.. d. r. Cahill, Secretary OF the League.
was one OF those injured with Mr. O'Brien'
Cahills injuring are in the head. His mother
and brother are In a state of great indigna-
ton and alarm. They state that when be
was brought home he was covered With hlnod
hlSs Collar ana coat IjeIug SSLurau-u. A4o ,,a,
conscious but incoherent, and rambling in
bis explanation Of how the affair occurred.
Ihe services Of Dr. Cassiday were pro-
CURED, and the wound was dressed. The
blow was struck with brick from
behind, being in the middle Of
the back Of the head, just below the crown.
From all appearance the skull Is not frac-
tured, but it will require time to ascertain
the depth and true nature0f the wound. 1t
is about an inch long and triangular in shape,
as though made by the corner of brick.
From what his brother was able TO elicit
from him it appears that Mr. Cahill was the
urst one struck. He fell and became unOon-
sclous. When he had partly recovered he
attempted to regain his feet and was again
struck on the head and knocked down. He
regained his feet and by following O'Brien
and the rest Of his friends was able to escape
into Lalor's bicycle shop
MIR. OBrirn was accompanied to the depot
and Cahill. The newspaper contingent was
with MIR. OBrien also, ana there were several
leading natiOnalists of Toronto on the train
with MeSSrs. O'Brien and Kilbride A large
crowd had collected at the depot which
burst into u ringing cheer as Mr. O'Brien
and his friends drove up. Then there was
Ghe usual scene OF handshaking, and
finally Mr.. O'Brien mounted the rear
platform Of the car. Cheer after cheer went
up for him as he stood there, and when the
tumultuous applause had subsided O'Brien
delivered a spirited farewell address. He
thanked them with his usual intensity and
earnestness, and then proceeded TO say that
last nights attack would not in the smallest
degree dim his recollection of all the kind
ness he had received while in Toronto. 1t
was certainly very cold-blooded and dellb-
crate attempt at murder, but the outrage
was certain to react with tenfold force upon
the instigators in whose interest the murder
Gus attempt was made. He did not want to
insult any one nor to defy any one, but
neither was he here TO be in dread of any
one lcheersl, ana he would go on TO the enu
relying on the justice ot his cause, [Renewed

Stoned In Toronto.

TORONTO Canada, May 20.-The attack
upon Mr.. William O'Brien Wednesday night
has been the theme of every tongue in To-
rontO. The character Of the mob, the deter
mined fury with which they pursued him,
and the murderOus manner in which they
stoned him and his friends leave no doubt
upon any ones mind that the intention was
to murder Mr.. O'Brien, and from the events
Of the evening, when carefully compared
and considered, no other conclusion can be
reached than that the whole affair had been
carefully organized 1t transpired last night
that Mr.. O'Brien was hit with stones in no
less than four places. When the newspaper
men bade him good night at late hour he
was breathing short and somewhat painfully
and complained of dull, aching pain In the
left side just below the fifth rib. He was,
however, quite cheerful and even gay, and
freely discussed the whole affair.
II find now" said Mr. O'Brien, with a
pleasant laugh. II was struck by the stones,
but in the excitement l didn't at first feel
them. They are now developing. but don't
suppose I'll be any the worse for it beyond
being bit black and blue
~Where were you hiti' was asked.
"Oh, by the mercy of God, in the most ad-
upper part of the left arm, another caught
me on the left breast, The third blow I got
was in the right elbow, and the fourth here
In the left side. The latter one has deve,-
oped quite recently and is paining me little
now, but il will be nothing"
The news that Mr.. O'Brien's life had been
attempted spread like wild-ire through
Toronto. Great Indignation was expressed
in many quarters, but there is no doubt that
the conduct Of the mob last night had the ap-
plUval of a large number of the citizens of
Toronto. Hundreds OF store-keepers and
houSeholders stood in their doorways grim
ming with satisfaction as Mr.. O'Brien and
his few friends fed for their lives along the
thorc Ighfares The mob was mainly COM
poseo OF the worst elements Of the city, but
goodly proportion OF it consisted Of we'll
dressed ruffians and Gudish persons with
patent leather boots and huge collars. Al
ready the occurrence has gained hundreds Of
converts to the O'Brien cause Long after
the telegraph Office had closed for the night,
and just as Mr.. OBrien was about 10 retire
TO rest. he was waited upon by six members
of the Dominion Parliament, who expressed
their deep sense of sorrow and shame at the
occurrence and of sympathy with Mr.
O'Brien.
Mr.. O'Brien received them courteously,
and when, with a cheerful laugh, said: Il am
not at ali sorry, now that it is over. OK
course i suffered q little, but that is nothing
when we take into accout the fact that is
will injure Lord Lansdowne's cause still
Imoro."
